Working Together

April 19, 1986|By John P. Parker, Special Agent and Registered Representative, Prudential.

SKOKIE — Recently The Tribune ran yet another letter from another camp regarding the extremely partisan issue if the `insurance crisis` in which one more person (in 200 words or less) pointed his finger at some other factions, blamed all of them, and offered his panacea. Were it only so simple!

I am a member of one of the oft-named factions--the insurance industry itself. I admit, to all accusations, our collective culpability. I further admit that I have not made one effort to help bail the paying public out of the crisis. I will start my efforts now, for in similar crises it takes but one person to stop, listen and ask, ``How can I help,`` rather than, ``Someone should do something,`` to get the ball rolling.

I am one little guy out here with all the other little guys from all the other factions. I`m not pointing my finger any longer, people. Looking carefully as to how we all helped create this mess will show us our path out of it. If there is a panacea, working together is it!
